House targeted by shooter: Police

Kesean Williams

Peel Regional Police say someone deliberaly shot a bullet through the window of an Ardglen Drive townhouse last night, but they don't know who the intended target was.
In a news conference late this afternoon, police said the bullet that killed 9-year-old Kesean Williams was shot from outside, and hit the little boy in the head as he sat in the living room watching television.
He was at home with his 15-year-old brother at the time.
It happened at 10:26 p.m. Wednesday. The youngster died in hospital early Thursday morning.
Kesean, his mom and brother had moved to the townhouse at 51 Ardglen Dr., in the area of Kennedy Road and Clarence Street, last weekend. They had moved to Brampton from Hamilton last September, and that's when Kesean enrolled in Grade 4 at Sir Winston Churchill Public School.
Police are conducting an intensive investigation, interviewing hundreds of residents, as well as witnesses and anyone connected to the townhouse.
Some people were seen running from the area, but police have received "various" descriptions from several witnesses, and they are going through that information as they continue to gather evidence.
Police Chief Jennifer Evans said her officers will work "tirelessly" in their bid to apprehend those responsible, but she said she wanted to assure the community that it was not a "stray bullet" that killed Kesean, as was reported in some media.
Meanwhile, police are casting a wide net in the investigation.
"We can't rule anything out at this time," said Acting Supt. George Koekkoek.
He said it is "appalling" and "unfathomable" to think that anyone would target "this young, innocent child".
